lack of facilities of railroads leading to Brazoria
county, the Houston Light Guards didn't get
away for the seat of the negro insurection
until o'clock last night and cannot have
reached Carey creek before noon today. Cap
tain Keichardt took twenty men with him
with large quantity of ammunition An
other company is held in reserve here awaiting
further orders from the governor. Alarming
reports, which could not be traced to any re-
liable source, were in circulation last night as
to the seriousness of the conflict which took
place yesterday morning between the
negroes and Sheriff Hickeys posse.
Nothing positive was known here
up to a late hour last night about the
fight, but it was reported that several negroes
were killed. Brazoria and Matagorda conn.
ties are largely populated by negroes and many
bloody race battles have been fought in both
counties during tile past ten years. especially
during election season. Coney Greek settle

The MutinoUs Convicts at Coal Creek Have
Surrendered.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, September 27.-For
some reason, full particulars of the mutiny of
convicts at Coal Creek cannot be obtained.
The Knox Iron company is very reticent
about the affair. The inspector returned from
the mines yesterday and says the troubles
have been settled. Last Thursday at the dim
ner hour, the conyicts refused to leave the
mines. They claimed the food was 50 bad and
the tasks so heavy thai they could 10 longer
endure it, and they would remain i'll the
mines until better fare and more humane
treatment We're promised. The guards would
promise nothing, and the conyictS refused to
move an inch. Every effort was
then made to remove them to the stockade,
peaceably but they held out against threats
and entreaties born of desperation. Then it is
said the guards fired info them, wounding
several negroes, but this is denied At any
rate Friday afternoon they shut off the venti-
lation and on Saturday evening the convlcts
yielded. The closing OF the ventilation shaft
drove them to the mouth of the mine, and
there they crowded around the opening fight
ing among themselves, for they endured
the most leXcruciating torture before
giving up and it is said several of them were
entirely exhausted when they surrendered.
Mr.. Burrows states that everything is quiet
and that ne apprehends no further trouble.

MataGOrda County in Great Excitement
State Troops Sent to the Scene.

Houston, Tex, September 26.-Word was
brought over this evening that an instruction
was imminent among the blacks in Matagorda
county. The sheriff of Matagorda county sent
a courier to Sheriff Hcley, of Brazier county,
asking for immediate assistance to put down
an Instruction. The courier states that over
200 negroes were under arms in Matagorda,
and that excitement among the whites was
very great. The trouble arose overan attempt
of colored constable to arrest q white man
Yho resided on Caney creek.
The constable was found dead lying in the
water OF the creek, and the negroes believe
chat he was murdered by white men of the
vicinity, because he had warrant for one of
their number. Later reports last night stated
that Sheriff Hicley had raised posse of fifty
mounted white men and started for Matagorda.
While the sheriff of Matagorda county was
,enroute to the scene OF the trouble with one
hundred mounted men at noon today. an
alarming report reached this city that the
sheriff S forces have arrived and active hOitil-
ties begun The negroes have been largely re.
inforced. The Houston Light Guards have
just received orders to leave on a special train
for the town of Columbia, Brazier county.
GALVESTON, Tex, September pa special to
the News from Columbia, Tex. says: In fight
Sunday night, in Matagorda county, between
a large mob Of negroes and a posse OF whites
under command o fCaptainiBateS -four negroes
were killed, including Burton Hawkins. one
of the leaders. 1t is not known how many
were wounded. The whites lost two horses in
the fight.
Later information confirms the first repor
that trouble arose over the death of Jerry
Massena, a coored constable who had started
out to arrest white planter named Sanborn,
Several hundred negroes congregated bent up
on killing Sanborn and his friends. After the
fight Sunday night the negroes dispersed for
the time being, but further trouble is antici-
pated. The Houston Light Guards arrived
here today and proceeded down the river by
steamer to Brazora. The Pearson Guards.
of Richmond with Sheriff Hickey and Wads-
worth, of Brazoria, and Mantagorda counties,
are at the scene of trouble, 1t is thought that
these officers will arrest the leaders of the in,
-surgents before the military retires.
Houston, Texas, September 29.-The trou-
BILE with the negroes in Matagorda and Brazo-
ria counties is believed to bo settled for the
present. The Houston Light Guard have re-
turned from the seat of war. Two negroes
were killed in Sunday conflict. Oliver Shop
herd, mulatto, leader of the negroes, has
fled from the country. There is considerable
apprehension among the whites that the trou-
BILE may be renewed.

Marrow Escape from a Horrible Accident
Distractions On the Track.

Troy, N. Y, September 26.-Last night an
attempt was made to wreck a ST. Louis ex-
press train on the Fitchburg road, about one
and half miles this side OF North Pownal,
Vermont AS the first section

$50, Engineer Charles n Pilling in the dim
moonligh, saw an obstruction on the track
about three train lengths ahead. The train
was running about forty miles an hour He
applied the air brakes stopping the train with
a jerk, but not until the engine had struck the
obstacle. This was pile of nine ties, two of
which were spiked TO the track.
The engine did not leave the track, though
sevural of the ties were displaced from the pile
laid across the rails. A brakeman was in
stantly sent back 10 signal the rear section,
which was only i've minutes behind, and a
terrible disaster was averted.
Officers of the road believe that
there was some person at the place of the
attempt who has been plotting the disaster for
several months.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

President Harris, of the Northern Pa
cifc railroad, passed through Bohemian
on last Wednesdays delayed east bound
train. About a dozen of our citizens met
Mr.. Harris IN accordance with a tele.
graphic arrangement made with General
Wilson, and during the brief time the
train remained here talked over the nail
road situation. The Bozeman gentlemen
presented as far as possible the needs of
this section of the country for additional
railroad facilities, to all of which the
genial president listened attentively, but
remained noncommittal as to the future
policy of his road. He confessed that he
was surprised at the Inducements which
were visible upon every hand for such a
branch Soad. and it is more than likely
that he vas led to think over a matter
which those who have had his ear have
entirely neglected to bring forward. Pres
ident Harris is about forty.six years of
age, and is a gentleman whom il is a
pleasure to meet. Unlike some of his
subordinates, he Is easily approached,
and at Bozeman was the first to jump
from the train to meet the delegation,
and, instead of reclining upon the cush-
toned seats of his private car and wait
ing for his visitors to join him, he APP
peared anxious to see the gentlemen and
make the most of his time.
